Even so, the President had deep regrets: "I wish we were further ahead and knew more as to accuracy and to the erosion and to the heat-resistant qualities of metals, and all the other things we have to know about. I wish we knew more about it at this moment...
...Heat burns (as distinct from chemical burns) should not be covered with petrolatum or other ointment dressing: just sterile gauze, applied dry, with a bandage to hold it in place...

Partisans of San Gennaro retort that 1) temperature tests refute the heat theory; 2) the liquefaction has sometimes taken place without the container's being touched...
Infra-red technique is developing rapidly, and most of the interesting details are still secret. It has been announced that certain air-to-air guided missiles seek their prey by feeling for heat rays and steering toward their source, which may be the exhaust or warm wing edges of a fast airplane. Long-range missiles can probably feel for enemy cities, and reconnaissance missiles may some day return from high-arching flights with heat pictures of an enemy's secret factories and bases. An obvious steering system for antimissile missiles would be a heat-sensitive device to feel...
...toughest in Big Steel's history. The company had to plant huge towers at the cave and on the rim, sling light cables across the chasm by helicopter, then use them to haul across a 20-ton, 1½-in-thick main cable.

All food and supplies had to be flown in from Los Angeles 435 miles away; some 200 tons of equipment (compressors, hoists, welding machines) was airlifted in pieces and assembled on the canyon floor. Finally, after nine months...
